Those of you who follow me over on Instagram already know that I’m collaborating with At Home Stores on a refresh of our screened porch! And last week on Instagram Stories I took y’all on a shopping adventure through my local At Home! If you’ve never been to an At Home store you’re missing out. Their stores are HUGE and packed full of amazing home goodies. They have quite the selection of outdoor decor, everything from furniture and replacement cushions to lanterns and planters. Seriously good stuff, and those of you who shopped along with me got to see this first hand. If you’re not following along with my Instagram Stories, what are you waiting for?! 😉 I share all kinds of goodness over there from shopping adventures to random things like what I’m currently binge-watching on Netflix. 😉 It’s hard-hitting news you don’t want to miss out on, obviously.
Anyhow, after I shared this picture of these urns in my stories (like how gorg is this glossy white one?!)………
I got this question.
Question?
I’ll always love the classic beauty of an urn! And regardless of where you fall on the style spectrum I think an urn can easily have a place in and around your home.
Here are a few simple ideas for incorporating urns into your outdoor and even indoor spaces.
1. Flanking a Front Door
A look I’ll never tire of because of its simplicity and understated elegance, two urns flanking a front entrance is always stunning in my book. But even just one grouped with a few others at varying heights can be really pretty as well.
2. An Urn Side Table
This is a simple idea and a great way to bring an urn into your indoor spaces. You can use a tray or have a round piece of wood or glass cut to put this idea into action.
3. Ice Bucket/ Wine Chiller
I love this idea for outdoor entertaining. How chic does this look?!
4. Kitchen Utensil Holder
Smaller urns can be great catch-alls for storing all sorts of things. I just love decorative storage solutions!
5. Umbrella Stand
Last but not least is this genius idea using an urn to hold umbrellas in an entry foyer. I love it when form an function collide so beautifully!
So there you have it! 5 ways to rock urns in and around your home!
